The Never Tour is back with thirteen tracks spanning eleven years of live Vampire. Three different versions of 2021 tie together a set of underappreciated classics and a couple unexpected covers. Best enjoyed on a walk with headphones.
2012 shows included the then untitled “New Song #2”. This set combines part of their show at The New Yorker Festival on that tour with part of their show from Webster Hall 2019.
